Caterpillar TAURUS 70 - Manual (Page 56)

Turbomachinery Package Specification Taurus 70 Compressor Set and Mechanical Drive
has a back outlet and requires ducting and a support frame. A weather hood is available
as an option.
13.1.2 Self-Cleaning Barrier Type Air Filter
The self-cleaning barrier type air filter system is suitable for extreme environments where
dust loading or cold-weather operation is a concern. This system is available in an
updraft configuration. This system requires a suitable supply of cleaning air. Cleaning air
can be provided by the customer or supplied using turbine compressor discharge
pressure (Pcd) bleed air. If bleed air is used, an air heat exchanger is provided for
mounting in the air inlet ducting between the air inlet filter and the turbine air inlet.
Standard features include:
• Support leg kit (Filter house only)
• Dual differential pressure alarm and shutdown switch
• Filter elements
• Air treatment module
• Differential pressure gauge
• Electrical connections prewired to a common junction box
• Access to change filter elements from below must be provided
13.1.3 Marine / Offshore-High Velocity Type Air Filter
The marine and offshore high velocity air filter system is suitable for use in many offshore
applications. This system provides removal of salt, water, and particulates. This system
consists of:
• First stage marine vane separator/moisture eliminator
• Second stage pre-filter
• Third stage bag filters
• Fourth stage marine vane separator/moisture eliminator
Access doors are provided in the first stage marine vane separator/moisture eliminator
for filter removal. Standard features include:
• Drainage system
• Transition outlet flange
• Lifting lugs
• Instrumentation panel
• Differential pressure gauge
• Quad certified differential pressure transmitter
• 2 Different final filter element types available (HVL,HVX)
HVX filter elements allow for a higher level of filtration. This is recommended for
environments with moderate dust loading expectations. The pressure drop on HVX filter
elements will be higher than HVL elements.
